Weekend Getaway

Had a great time with my mom and sis!

Friday we had dinner at the hotel, precourse: tapas, main course: pepper steak, pepper sauce, bell peppers and potato wedges and dessert: milk chocolate panna cotta with lime and vanilla marinated raspberrys. Mmmmmm....

View from our hotel room. These three last pictures were taken by my sister.

Saturday we had breakfast at the hotel, went shopping and had tea at my favorite café. I bought these sandals from H&M.

Back home again!

Dress Gina Tricot, earrings clothes swap, sandals H&M and jean jacket from la Redoute bought almost ten years ago.

Ooooh! I almost forgot to tell you. I found THEM. THE SHOES. Remember my post "Ruby Red Heels" back in April? I was looking for red shoes for my cousins wedding this summer, but if you don't keep an open mind you might miss out on something. I found these purple babies!

Do I need to say I loooove them??! To refresh your memory here's the dress that will befriend these cute heels.

Shopping Saturday

Today I went shopping with my sister-in-law. WITHOUT kids! If you don't have kids, you probably will not understand how grand this is. I have two kids and my in-law-sis has three. We were out all day and lunched at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. 

So here are some not so great pictures from a great day. (Most of them were taken with my phone.)

This is me, just before I left home.

Dress, Forever 21. Tank, Aeropostale. Cardigan, H&M Kids. Necklace, KappAhl. Jeanleggins, H&M. Bangle, H&M. Shoes, Gabor.

It's still so cold I had to go inside and put on my inherited leather jacket from the seventies and my Atlas scarf. I hardly ever go anywhere without a bag. This is one of my favorites from Lindex.

I fell in love with these shoes! They where above my budget though so I had to restrain myself! I hope they will be on sale!!!!

I hope your saturday is great!

Ruby Red Heels!

I am looking for some red heels to go with this dress.

I am wearing it to my cousin's wedding this summer. Since the dress is nude with a black belt I would like some red shoes to spice it up. I don't want to wear closed pumps, they don't feel that "summer" to me. Here are some shoes I like.

My spring wardrobe staples (some of them at least!)

I have a feeling this is going to be a staple in my spring wardrobe. This is one of my many thrift store finds. It is a Strenesse camel hair blazer, I guess it was produced sometimes in the nineties from the look of it.  I like to roll up the sleeves and wear it with skinny jeans and high heels. Hardly used it was a real catch at only $10 or 75 sek.

And here are my babies! Well, my shoe babies anyway... Bought them this summer at DSW. They're leather JS by Jessica Simpson. And they ARE comfy! While I was trying them on, totally enamored, my husband asked me: "Will you be able to walk in those?" Stupefied I looked at him thinking: "What does that have to do with anything?" I must say, when it comes to shoes I'm stupid enough to buy shoes that might keep me seated all through the party. Once at a wedding I wore a pair of beautiful vintage fifties pumps, they were SO uncomfortable! I wore them at the wedding ceremony, but even I was wise enough to bring flats for the party. Only, by the time I gave in to the flats, my feet were so swollen I had to have a male friend help me put my shoes on. I like to think I looked like Cinderella when he aided me but honestly, with my swollen feet and face twisted from the pain I probably looked like one of the stepsisters....

And one GREAT birthday present! Thanks grandad! Well, he paid and I chose.... These leather riding boots come from swedish page La Redoute . They are versatile, you can dress them up or down.

And one GREAT christmas gift! These are Disney Couture goldplated earrings. I am an avid Disney fan and on the leaves it says "Believe" on one side and "xoxo Tink" on the other. Best believe in fairies!!! I am becoming quite the earring collector. My husband has been giving me some nice ones.

He has given me a lot of beautiful jewellry through the years. My absolute favorites are my wedding band, my engagement ring, a gold anklet he gave me the morning after our wedding and these Judith Ripka earrings he gave me this summer on our fifth wedding anniversary. I LOVE Judith Ripka! These are silver earrings with amethyst. They will be dangling a lot from my earlobes this spring!
